Why Do Pizza Lovers Keep Driving To This Tiny Shop In Worcester?

The pizza recipe here dates back to 1922. Even better, the kitchen still uses the same oven and the same tomato sauce recipe. That kind of loyalty is rare. The dough gets made fresh every day, and each thin-crust pie comes out 12 inches round and cut into six slices.

Zippity Do Dog is for sale again as owners cite health issues

Just six months after taking ownership of the popular Framingham hot dog stand Zippity Do Dog , owners Alan and Paponake MacIntosh are looking for a new buyer, citing health reasons. The MacIntoshes took over the beloved hot dog stand parked at 160 Speen St. in May and have since revamped the menu with new ingredients and items while continuing the nearly 20 year old business. They purchased the stand from former owner Roland Houle, who stepped away from the business after seven years to pursue a new career opportunity. In a social media post on Nov. 4, the MacIntoshes announced that they made the decision to sell Zippity Do Dog and find a new owner to continue the business. "Due to recent health complications, we have been forced to make the incredibly difficult decision to sell Zippity Do Dog," the post read. "It is a special part of the community with a wonderful history and loyal customers who have made every day worthwhile." The MacIntoshes own Doragon Eatery in Ashland, which they are also looking to sell. Alan MacIntosh told the Daily News that they have not identified a potential buyer for the restaurant and said it could be

Cape Cod bartender did not become Voice of Logan. Here's who won instead.

She didn't take home the title, but Kristin Ingala went the distance in the contest to find the next Voice of Boston Logan International Airport . Ingala, a South Dennis resident, competitive boxer, and popular bartender at the Chatham Squire, was one of eight finalists selected from nearly 6,000 entries in Massport's search for a new "Voice of Logan." The winner is Chris Donisi of Burlington , a man with a deep voice, born just outside the city in East Arlington. "I'm a home-grown Boston guy," Donisi is quoted as saying on the Voice of Logan website. He accepted the title with a mix of humility and hometown pride, saying, "I don’t think I honestly deserve anything but I just know this city and its roots and how the people move and flow around here." Donisi noted that people around him have always noticed his distinctive sound and told him to do voice work, "so when I seen this I said what a perfect opportunity to give it a shot and how perfect it would be in my hometown at Logan." Cape Cod's 'Bahston Bah Tenda' Ingala brought her own distinctive Boston sound to the competition. Her accent, which she
